Seventeen. First try hands.

No matter how emotional Li Siheng was under his will, after Hou Yan finished cutting his hair, the crowd stopped any further delays, and a team of six or seven cars arrived at the Jade Fair soon.

Hou Qi still has a lot of things to deal with, although he intends to take his brother around for a walk, but the real situation does not allow him to do so.In desperation, Hou Qi could only leave Hou Jia with a few trustworthy people and let him take a look around in the rough stone market first.

Those who Hou Qi can trust are all the old people of the Hou family.These people don't have any advanced stone gambling skills, but they are better than they are well-informed and have a solid foundation, and they are even more familiar with the rules of jadeite public trading.More importantly, the few selected by Hou Qi to follow Hou Jia are all men in their 30s. Their elder brothers are tall and strong, and they can do a few tricks under their hands.

The emerald public market is watched by people from the government, and the order is not as chaotic as that of the black market. These few people are enough to protect the personal safety of Hou Jia.

Hou Yan focused on jade carving in his previous life, but he was not ignorant of rough stones.He still understands some obvious rules.For example, the few people arranged by Hou Qi are actually the "eyes" of the Hou family.Asking them to spend time picking out rough stones to accompany him to take a look around is actually wasting his money.

After all, if the bet goes up, the eyes of each family will draw a commission based on the selling price of the rough stone.

Although it has been said that "ten bets and nine loses", except for Qi Mo's unlucky eyes, most of the master stone gamblers may not be able to gamble a piece of top-quality emerald in their entire lives.But Hou Yan still felt a little ashamed of these masters, so he became more polite.

Li Siheng is in charge of leading the team this time. As for whether to choose the rough stone or not, it is only about his interest.Obviously, Li Siheng was more interested in Hou Jia.Unsurprisingly, Li Siheng followed Hou Jia, quietly watching Hou Jia touch the rough stone, and sometimes took out a bright flashlight to take a picture.

Li Siheng, who was behind Hou Yan, watched his movements and shook his head slightly.The young man is different from what he expected. Maybe he has a talent that is almost monstrous in carving, but when it comes to betting stones, one can tell just by looking at his techniques. The young man may know a thing or two about betting stones, but it is only a little bit. That's all.

Seeing the young man concentrating on rubbing a stone without emerald at first glance, Li Siheng was not in a hurry.He also grew up from knowing nothing about betting on stones, so Li Siheng understands best that betting on stones is not a one-day achievement.After countless times of gambling, you will find out your own experience.

Experience, like love, is untraceable, but people just believe that it must exist.Only what you find out by yourself will be suitable for you.

Li Siheng was right about one thing, and that was that Hou Yan was indeed not very good at gambling with stones.Compared with rough stones, he has been exposed to more cut jade and jadeite.Because as a jade carving master, what he needs to do is to give them souls after repeated pondering based on jade materials.Cutting the beautiful jade out of the shell, or judging which piece of ordinary rough stone will give birth to the beautiful jade, is the pastime of some jade carving masters, but it is not their duty.

In the previous life, although Hou Jia had no worries about food and clothing, it was still very difficult to support such extravagant hobbies.Therefore, there are not many opportunities for him to get in touch with rough stones.

The rough stone he is holding in his hand is not heavy at all, it weighs about three to five catties, piled among a pair of big and small rough stones, the price is extremely cheap.

Usually, the prices of these rough stones piled up on the periphery are not expensive, and correspondingly, the chances of producing emeralds are very small.Being able to produce top-quality jadeite at this kind of stall is something that only happens in novels.

And the one in Hou Jia's hand is even more pitiful. There is no python or ringworm, and the skin is very smooth, even a little smooth and shiny. You can't see any features of the rough jadeite. It looks like a piece of jadeite fished out of the river. Stone.

Hou Jia has no experience in betting on stones, but he is close to Zhu Zhechi and has been immersed in the jade carving industry for so many years, so he still has no common sense in betting on stones.But what made him pay special attention to this rough stone was that this rough stone was cooler to the touch than other rough stones.

Since Hou Yan was reborn, the most satisfying part of this appearance is the hands.These hands were infinitely more delicate than those full of scars in his previous life, and they were also much tenderer than ordinary people.Moreover, these days, when Hou Jia made jade carvings, he was dipped in water and used a carving knife, but it wasn't rough at all.

Hou Yan felt that this was probably the golden finger brought to him by this rebirth.

After trying these days, Hou Yan suddenly discovered that when the rough stone he touched contained emerald, he would feel that the temperature was a little lower than the rough stone without emerald.Although he is not yet able to judge the type and color of jadeite by temperature, but in all fairness, this is also a very heaven-defying ability.

Compared with Hou Yan's golden fingers like clairvoyance eyes in various rebirth novels, especially those about gambling with stones, his golden fingers seem to be a little slender, but they are very secure.

Seeing through eyes is too evil, and evil is a monster.Hou Yan has no interest in becoming a monster.And he also understands that those who are too evil will not necessarily end up with great achievements, but are more likely to be sent to a research institution to be studied every day.

The mobile phone is sensitive to temperature, and it is not a special function, and there is still a long way to go to study it vigorously.So this thin golden finger is quite safe for Hou Jia to use.

After repeatedly touching the rough stone under his command, Hou Yan finally took it to the boss to pay.Seeing the expensive clothes of this group of people, the boss thought it was a big business, but he didn't expect Hou Jia to choose such a small piece of material in the end.Despite being disappointed, he was still professional after all, settled the bill for Hou Yan neatly, and sent him out with a smile.

Three and a half catties of rough stone cost only two hundred yuan.Two hundred yuan is really not worth mentioning to the Hou family. Hou Jia usually pays more than that for a haircut.So the eyes that Hou Qi arranged around Hou Jia didn't say anything.

As for Li Siheng, he just thought that since children like to play, let him play.Therefore, Li Siheng said to Hou Jia very considerately, "Do you want to untie it? There is a machine for dissolving stones over there."

Li Siheng pointed with his right hand, and sure enough there was a stone-dissolving machine around the corner.

Hou Yan was a little eager to try, so Li Siheng dragged the rough stone selected by Hou Yan with one hand, and Hou Yan with the other hand, and walked towards the stone interpreter at the corner.

Hou Jia declined Li Siheng's help, and said that the rough stone was placed on the understanding stone machine, and he thought for a long time before making the first cut.The size of the stone is not large. After five or six minutes, the stone shell behind the original stone has been broken open a skylight.

Wait to pour some water on the cut surface.Everyone took a closer look, and it was indeed a piece of white flowers as expected.Going down the first road, there is no emerald.Everyone was not surprised by the result, but Li Siheng was a little worried that Hou Yan would be disappointed.Therefore, he turned his head and observed the young man's expression carefully.

Hou Jieshi's hand was very steady, as if what he held was not a cutting knife, but a jade roller that he usually used for carving.The young man's expression was actually a little solemn, and the people around couldn't help but hold their breath with such solemnity.

And Li Siheng's gaze scanned Hou Jia's entire face carefully.Except for the fine layer of sweat accumulated on the wings of the nose due to the hot weather, the young man's eyes were almost without waves.

This kind of neither sadness nor joy, even the veteran stone gamblers all the year round, may not be able to do it.

Li Siheng calmly took a deep breath to calm down the throbbing in his chest.He seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and since then, everything in that world has been pervasive.Even if he forced himself to close it, he knew that it would be futile.

From then on, when he looked at Hou Jia again, he no longer looked at his own shadow through this young man.Instead, he was really attracted to this boy who was completely different from his old self.His serious look, his innocent look, and his wandering look.And these, for Li Siheng, did not need to work hard to capture.Just, in the crowd, I met you.

As for Hou Yan, at this moment, he was focusing on his own rough stone, and he still didn't know the throbbing in Li Siheng's heart.

For the result of the first knife, he himself was very prepared.Because the appearance of this rough stone was really bad, even he himself didn't have much expectations.

One sword, two swords, three swords.Hou Jia made three cuts in succession, each cutting off a three-centimeter-thick piece of stone on top of the original stone, but without any surprise, it was all white.

Hou Yan continued to cut meticulously.He trusted the feel of his fingers.

When he finished the fourth cut and poured water on it, he finally had a small piece of green the size of a fingernail.The people around saw it, but they didn't make any noise.This rough stone has already been cut off in half by Hou Yan, even if it is green, it will not be too big.Although for the original price of [-] yuan, it is indeed a gamble, but there is nothing surprising about it.

Hou Jia saw that very pleasing touch of green, without any slight slack.I replaced the cutter with a sharpener, and sharpened it little by little.The final result was similar to everyone's expectations. It was indeed a very small piece of jadeite, not as thick as a grown man's little finger, and only as long as a grown man's finger.

The type and color of the material are good, but unfortunately it is too small.

It was considered a gamble, and everyone rushed to say congratulations to Hou Jia.This made Hou Jia feel a little cramped, and returned the courtesy repeatedly.In the end, it was Li Siheng who saw that he was extremely hot and that it was dangerous beside the calculus machine, so he pulled him out of the crowd, and Hou Jia was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Because he had already gambled a piece, Hou Yan was not in a hurry to look at the rough stone, but followed Li Siheng's footsteps to look at it casually, and didn't even try to get his hands on it.

The two picked a somewhat shady path and walked slowly. As for the stone gamblers who followed Hou Jia just now, Li Siheng had let them choose their favorite stones, and they didn't have to follow.

"The piece of jade that I gambled just now, does Xiao Jiu'er want to sell it or carve it myself?" While walking, Li Siheng asked Hou Yan what he would use for the piece of jade that he gambled by himself.

This time Hou Yan didn't answer obediently as usual, but smiled slyly.

The young man smiled and said to Li Siheng mysteriously, "Brother Li, you will know when the time comes."

Li Siheng's heart skipped a beat, and a strange feeling spread in his heart.
